X10 doesn't MMs to HTC Hero - XPERIA X10 General

Hi I’m new to the forum so forgive me if this is in the wrong place .Anyway I’ve got an expera x10 and the wife’s got an htc Hero we live in South Africa and are on the same network Vodacom(Vodafone) both of us can send and receive MMS with friends and family which include LG’s, Nokia’s and BB .Now here’s the strange part i can get mms’s from the Hero to my x10 but when i send an mms to the hero from the x10 all you get is an download icon and all it downloads is a grey screen. I searched the web but couldn’t find anything related. As usual nobody at Vodacom have a clue what’s going on and I wonder if someone out there can help please ???????

Not really too sure about the technical details of the X10 and the Hero. But can it be the MMS size? I know some handsets are limited to downloading a maximum size of 300kb.
Have you tried sending a smaller MMS?

Just tested sending a camera photo from the X10 to a Hero and it worked. Both handsets were on the same network.
So it shouldn't be a handset issue. Could be a network issue. By the way, the MMS size limitation can also be controlled by the network.

I posted about my MMS problem & some others memners as well, we didn't get any answer
I can't send or recieve MMS with X10. Yess, MMS settings are installed & every time i installed MMS-settings, i can send or recieve just 1 MMS. Trying sending more or recieving, mobile keep sending or downloading in many hours but MMS is being never sent or recieved

Since you are able to send/receive one MMS message successfully, then it's not a problem with your settings. I'm assuming that "MMS & data" are enabled and your APN is set correctly.
When you say that any more MMS are never being sent or received, is this fixed by restarting the handset? Or have you never been able to send any more MMS since the first one?
Unfortunately, so far there are only two options:
1) Reset/Reinstall the handset and hope for the best. If this doesn't fix the problem, then the problem should be with the network provider.
2) Contact your operator. They should be able to trace the MMS message and the error log in their MMSC.
Sorry if that's not of any help.

O2 XDA Mini S with vodafone MMS problems

I've recently acquired an xda mini s from 02 as a free upgrade, however i want to put a vodafone sim card in it.
I've got the gprs working, but the mms isnt at all.
I've tried numerous cab files, can anyone help? maybe typing the settings in by hand?
please
Jaxx
sounds like you've done a soft reset after a hard reset bypassing the extended rom install? The only way to get the MMS application is to hard reset and do a "Basic" install then remove the O2 stuff from the Windows startup folder. Once you've done this you'll have the MMS app with O2 settings that you can just change to Vodafone settings.
Ok, tried this and still not workin.
What is going on here?!
do you meand MMS isn't working still or you still don't even have MMS in Pocket outlook
Do a search for removing the O2 stuff, there are many topics with the cab files to install to recover the MMS inbox
If however you have the inbox, just not the settings call vodafone and get them to tell / e-mail you
or go here http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
I managed to fix this problem finally.
The problem was that the MMS software was trying to connect using the vodafone Live access point, which isn't correct. had to set up a whole new connection for the MMS settings, it is now working fine.
Any chance you could post those settings here as I'm having exactly the same problem?
SMS is fine it's just the MMS I cant get working, Inbox is there just the setting that seem to be wrong.
This helped me out:

I can now send, but not receive MMS with my voda sim on my mini-s
Perfect Thanks,
I can now send and recieve MMS, SMS and Surf the "world wide wait"
Not sure why you cant recieve MMS though, I followed your instructions to the letter and all worked straight away, albeit a bit slow but then I think that's a tarrif thing with Vodafone. (I'm on a corporate contract with my own unlocked Mini-s)
I dont suppose you know the URL to access the Vodafone live site as well do you?
Hello, I have the same issue. But l'm on O2 , using o2 mini S , device. I can receive and download MMS , but I can't send MMS to another person. Is the any thing I miss? l'm using corporate mode.
Not sure about the corporate mode but I do know that unless you have the settings in exactly the right places you will have problems.
This link from earlier in the post should help you solve your problem though.
The second link is for Vodafone but use it to give you an idea of where you should be setting up the various elements.
You could also try searching for "O2 MMS Settings"

Does MMS need to be enabled by your phone service provider?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have searched using various phrases and keywords but couldn't find anything.
I have tried enabling MMS on my Kaiser for Vodafone UK Contract phones. I have followed a guide I found on the Vodafone eForum (http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8038&hl=MMS+HTC) plus similar guides I found elsewhere. It all looks good, however when I attempt to send an MMS is starts - GPRS connection gets connected and the message sends as far as 99% and then fails and constantly retries. I also cannot receive MMS messages, I just get a text message saying I have received a picture message and it gives me a URL (http://www.vodafone.co.uk/getmyphoto) and a password. I have been through the troubleshooting guide on Vodafones website but it wasn't any help. It has just occured to me that it may be a feature that needs enabling on my Vodafone account. So does anyone know if this is the case or should it just work?
yes it does
that and the correct network setup have to be
added to the phone and mms composer

OK. So tomorrow I should phone Vodafone customer services on 191 and ask whether MMS is enabled?

i cant send pic messages.

I can send regular msgs and my apn settings are correct as I am actually writing this from my magic. I made sure my mobile data was on when sending an mms because you obviously cannot send from WiFi although that would be awesome. But at this point I would just like to send a simple mms. I have an unlocked Rogers Magic on AT&T with fatality 1.4 on it.
A lot of us have the same problem, though we are UK Vodafone customers. I've been told by them that you need to ring up and ask them to 'activate' mms on your account. That seems to sort it for us, not sure if it will help you out as your on a different carrier but maybe worth a call to customer services?

Do you have MMS APN settings? Your data connection runs through a different APN so it working doesn't mean your MMS will.

MMS Hell

Hi everyone,
I'm having big issues with MMS and my GSII.
I bought it from Expansys.
I live in Australia.
I've got it running on the Telstra NextG Network.
I haven't touched it in ways Samsung wouldn't approve of.
I can't send MMS messages.
I've rang Telstra many, many times and they set this up and I turned it on and off and they sent me settings and I turned it on and off and they walked me through entering the settings manually and they transferred me to the really technical team, as high as you can go on high priority.
They told me to pull out the battery and sim card without turning the phone off, and to wait three minutes and try again and if that didn't work, to contact Samsung.
Of course, it still didn't work, and, of course, I came here.
I hope you guys can help.
:s
I'm not sure what information I need to give you that is helpful here, but I've taken some screenshots that may be related to the problem.
I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me out. I'm not sure what to do if I can't get MMSs to work.

Which error does your phone give you?
Server response error.
edit:
Just added the picture showing the error. Forgot that one first time.
I had that problem sending myself a mms. Server response error. On top of the fact that all mms coming in and out was a video instead of a picture with the stock mms.apk. I installed cm7 mms.apk and everything displays perfectly and i just sent myself a message.

Mine works fine and the only difference between my settings and yours is that I have authentication type for both Telstra Internet and Telstra MMS set to "PAP or CHAP". Try changing both these settings.
I have the same problem. After factory reset mms works for a day or two then the same error appears. I am on Rogers in Canada. All default apn/mms settings are correct.

How would I go about doing this? Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob.
Does it require rooting? I want to stay away from rooting until it's simple and fail-safe.

Try this: MMS "APN" Telestra.Internet and not Telestra.mms (since mms initiates telestra.internet
I had the same problem with T-Mobile and my sgs2. I think the problem lies with the messaging app as all was fine once I changed to go SMS, problem solved.
When I am sending MMS, I turn Wi-Fi off.
I usually add Topic/Subject and some text to my MMS.
This way my MMS sending works almost 90%.
Sometimes I have to delete MMS which is in "sending" status and try again. This way I got 100% success rate. I have no errors though. Try PAP on both Internet and MMS APN settings.
Have the same problem. Try to manually enter the phonenumber to the recipient. That works for me
hey guys, ive been trawling the internet for solutions and still cant get my mms to work (cant send or receive). has anyone got a working solution? i read somewhere that the galaxy s had a similar problem and needed a combined apn for internet and mms - does anyone have this?
(im on telstra in australia)
What a Nightmare
I also had this problem only SGS2. Bought from MobiCity and running in Australia on Telstra NextG. Unable to send MMS but all other SMS and internet working fine.
I looked up the Telstra website and entered their APN settings ... No MMS.
I looked up the Telstra settings on Ausdroid and entered these ... No MMS.
I found information on how to delete APN and put internet+MMS into a single APN as suggested for the original SGS ... No MMS. Grrrrrrrrr...
I used the Telstra website to SMS the APN settings direct to the phone ... No MMS and increasing frustration.
I sent an email to MobiCity telling them of my problem, as well as what I had already tried. They very helpfully sent me the Telstra APN settings ... which still didn't work.
I tried the suggestion mentioned here to type the phone number directly rather than use a contact from my Google contacts ... finally some success.
Then, thinking 'I'll be stuffed if I am going to lookup and type the number every time's, Installed GO SMS Pro from the Market, and it just works. Looks better, improved functionity including SMS scheduling. And Free.
It makes me think it is a problem with the stock messaging app. Anyway,thanks to the person who suggested GO SMS. Much appreciated.
I've was not able to send MMS to some contacts. It was the problem with spaces in numbers just like Outlook adds after the country code. I have cleared all spaces from numbers (via Kies) and now MMS works.
MMS error was something like 'cannot connect to server'. All settings for MMS was correct (like APN, ports, etc). SMS to a number with space works. Checked on 2 SGS2 with XXKE4 and XXKF2
I have a Hell of a nightmare as well with finding what I m looking for about MMS :
I want to change sending Priority to highest and can't seem to find a way in the SG2 menu or even with an app or MOD....
I posted a new thread on this issue.... : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16892768#post16892768
thanks for any help....
For all those who are on the Rogers network, I spoke to a tech rep yesterday and apparently it is a network bug that they are aware off and trying to fix. He said to try and input the contact numbers manually instead. I tried and it does work if you do it this way.
I am not on Telstra, but do you have the correct settings in the messaging app-settings-message centre/smsc ?
That was my prob a long time ago on my Sgs1.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I had the same problem. I had to remove the country code +61 from all my phone numbers for MMS to work. Standard MMS settings work just fine.
Big Thanks

I just wanted say a big thanks for this information. I don't have a Samsung but an HTC HD2 and it appears that I was the only person on Earth who couldn't send an MMS with my nandroid rom on the HTC HD2... or there were lots living without it. Your suggestion re "PAP or CHAP" has MMS sending perfectly on my phone with Telstra NextG. Reproduceable too as I now have my wife's HTC HD2 sending MMS as well on Telstra!

[Q] internet-settings for mms?

Hello,
I'm from belgium and my wife has a samsung i5500 using proximus as gsm operator.
Yesterday, she got a message about a MMS sent to here, which she couldn't receive.
I started to search how i have to configure the phone to be able to receive MMS.
I found i have to set 2 APN's, one for internet and one for MMS.
Because my wife doesn't have a special data agreement, it is very expensive when she is using internet on her phone.
Because of this, i didn't want to set the internet-settings, just the mms-settings.
When i want to send a mms, it fails.
Do i really need to set these internet apn-settings if i only want to send and receive MMS?
If yes, is it really using a data-connection over internet for sending or receiving a mms?
Greetings from someone who is afraid the GSM operator will become richer on his back.
